Kelly Osbourne slated more for weight issues than drug addiction

Kelly Osbourne has spoken of how she received more torment for being overweight than for being a ‘dangerous drug addict’.

Kelly Osbourne received worse press for her weight than drug addiction

The famous child of Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne had to check into rehab three times for her dependence on both alcohol and drugs.Speaking to Americaâs US Magazine, she said: âI took more hell for being fat than I did for being an absolute raging drug addict. I will never understand that.âThe 25-year-old used to weigh nearly 160 pounds and would often suffer jibes and find herself on the front of magazines pointing out just how âfatâ she looked.She admitted hating herself and her body and ânever wanted to do anything to fix itâ. Diet plans that she tried out left her âsick and shakingâ.However, Ms Osbourne also had her first taste of drugs at the age of just 13. It grew into an addiction by the time she was 17 when she first appeared on her familyâs reality TV show The Osbournes.She has previously admitted that she took the pain relief drug Vicodin to hide her grief at her mum Sharon being diagnosed with colon cancer in 2002. This dangerous addiction soon escalated to her popping 50 pills a day.Most people can overdose on 10 of these tablets so the young star was incredibly lucky it did not end tragically.This compulsion was covered by the press to an extent but received no where near the amount of coverage that her obesity won her.The star, who indeed makes a good point on the shallow tendencies of the beauty and fashion media today, has now lost 42 pounds through controlled dieting and says she is âproudâ when she sees herself in the mirror.
